That’s one way to do it. The other is to leverage your network (if available to you) and ask people if they can refer you internally. I’ve had a lot more success with the second method.

How common is such a test in the US? I work in the US and so far, I’ve never been asked to perform a drug test, ever. Then again, maybe I’ve been lucky…

I guess I misunderstood what you meant. I stand by my words though: If a mother, who wanted the child, is now all of a sudden braindead, it makes a lot of sense to try to save the baby. This is of course not the case in the article, because the fetus is not in good conditions and probably dead already, so I agree in this case it makes no sense.

Yes, generally if a mother was pregnant and now she’s braindead, it makes sense to keep her alive until her child is born, but if you read the article, the fetus suffered complications and is likely braindead as well, so it might be a stillbirth or just suffer and not live for very long, so it’s a bit more complicated

but is it really unlimited? At my last job, it was “unlimited with manager’s approval”, which basically means as long as the manager approves you’re good to go, no hard limits, but in practice managers wouldn’t approve more than 2-4 weeks (10-20 work days) a year, usually.

Gmail, outlook web, whatsapp web, slack web … just some examples of webapps that I use or used in the past that someone might legitimately want notifications from. Maybe you don’t use them, or are not required to use them for work, and that’s fine.

The article is specifically talking about android though, and there you’d most likely use an app for those, so I personally never needed them on mobile, but I can see someone else might need them.

Hasn’t been true for my past two jobs at least (US based), what I do outside of company premises / my own hardware and my own time is mine. They only own what was done on company’s dime. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but that’s not my experience so far, and I’m not sure if would be legal.

I literally run deepseek r1 on my laptop via ollama, and many other models, nothing gets sent to anybody. Granted, it’s the smaller 7b parameter model, but still plenty good.

Microsoft could easily host the full model on their infrastructure if they needed it.

I’d really like to know as well, since I’d like to travel eventually.

As for the canadian woman with improper paperwork, I can tell you usually the worst that can happen (well, before now, that is) was that they’d take you to a separate room for a few hours to check and question you, and, if things eventually check out, they let you through, else, you’d be sent back, especially at a land crossing. You wouldn’t be detained for months, unless you committed some crime or had a warrant

If he becomes pope, does it mean he’s not president of usa anymore? if so, please make the impossible happen! he won’t be able to cause so much trouble as pope

The insurance will never pay more than the value of the car, so if the repair cost goes too high they’ll just declare it a total loss and pay the “fair market value” of the car. And yes, a total loss is more likely, but that doesn’t mean the insurance pays more, on the contrary, they use that to pay less.

It is my hypothesis that if the cost were to drop to about $2000 and be available to anyone with a bit of technical knowledge, they would be quickly outlawed. That is our goal in this series; develop a low-cost Stingray.

Yes, they will be outlawed for the general public, but not for law enforcement…

OP specifically says they’re not looking for the wayback machine or any other archival site, they want something “still alive”

Everybody knows that plain old SMS text messages are way more secure than Signal …

/facepalm

censorship is bipartisan, they just want to censor different things

Yes, I understand that the 2nd amendment alone can’t stop a dictator if they have the army on their side… even though that was at least partly the intention when it was written

This is the actual reason why there is a 2nd amendment

I mean, they could stop messing with things that aren’t broken for once…

You’re right, but those old ones kinda suck. Recently, they figured how to make them sound good. Example: Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, but every major brand has some

I think they meant open ear style headphones / earbuds, not closed ear ones with pass-through function.

Personally, despite having a pair of those, and they are great, I still prefer using the car’s speakers while driving, but that’s me.
